A family receiving their first child in Russia would receive approximately 503 thousand Russian rubles from the government within the maternity (family) capital program in 2022. The maternity capital benefits in the country saw an increase in recent years.
What is the maternity capital program in Russia?
The maternity (family) capital program in Russia was launched in 2007 to tackle the decline in the country’s population. Back then, the program paid 250 thousand Russian rubles to mothers who gave birth to or adopted a second child. It remained stable at over 453 thousand Russian rubles from 2015 to 2019. In January 2020, Russian president Vladimir Putin suggested extending the maternity capital program in the country to include births of first children. Furthermore, the program’s financing was planned to increase each year until 2024.
How much money do Russian families receive for a second child?
For the second and each further child, if the family already received the money for the first one since the program's start in 2007, it would get nearly 161.8 thousand Russian rubles. If the family received their second child and has never claimed maternity capital benefits before, it would be given around 665 thousand Russian rubles. According to data from 2020, most live births by Russian women aged until 27 years were of first children. Mothers of age 28 years and older mostly gave birth to a second child.
